Attendees got to their feet as Seth Rogen delivered a short but extremely sweet speech about the late comedic icon, who posthumously won outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series for her work on The Studio.
“If you have people in your lives that don’t know her work, just show them O’Hara dancing to Harry Belafonte in Beetlejuice. Show them O’Hara hurting her knee in Best in Show and doing that amazing thing where she hobbles around, and tell the people as they are laughing that that’s Catherine O’Hara, and we were lucky that we got to live in a world where she so generally shared her talents with us,” Rogen said.

As a devoted Office Ladies podcast stan, I was thrilled to see co-hosts Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey join their former The Office costars Mindy Kaling and Ellie Kemper to…well, kind of ramble (albeit cutely!) about how sitcoms used to get picked up for much longer seasons.
A worthy rom-com tribute
Speaking of Kaling, it was fun to see her and Andie McDowell weigh in on the fine and subtle art of the romantic comedy during a clip package that featured iconic moments from When Harry Met Sally…, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Heated Rivalry (!), and many more.
